Data import issues

• Check you're connected to the web during the migration and not experiencing network connectivity issues.
• Don't import from an OST file. GWSMO supports importing only from a PST file or directly from your Microsoft Exchange account. Learn more
• Import directly using GWSMO and don’t drag files from IMAP folders. GWSMO doesn't support this method as it can cause import issues. If you didn’t import directly from GWSMO, re-create your profile and try to import the data again.

If you import contact or calendar data multiple times into the same Google Workspace account, you get duplicates. You can manually remove them from your Google Workspace interface (not Outlook). Or, you can follow these steps to reimport that data:

From your Google Workspace interface (not Outlook):

1. Delete all events in your primary calendar.
2. Delete all contacts in your personal contact list.
3. Use GWSMO to reimport your calendar and contacts. To do this, follow the steps in Import your Outlook data later.

You can find GWSMO trace log files on your computer here:

• Windows 7 and up—C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Local\Google\Google Apps Sync\Tracing\
• Earlier versions of Windows—C:\Documents and Settings\your-user-name\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Apps Sync\Tracing\

Unified single sign-on trace log files are located here: C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Local\Google\Identity

You can find details about the unsuccessful import in Outlook's Sync Issues/Local Failures folder. If you get this error, the rest of your data will continue importing.

GWSMO doesn't migrate certain message classes, including read receipts, delivery reports, and nondelivery reports. For details, go to What's synchronized?
